To provide effective representation, we stay current with industry practices and legal developments in this area. The scope of our practice encompasses:

  • Purchase and sale agreements

  • Breeding agreements
  • Equine liability concerns
  • Premises liability
  • Personal injury claims
  • Insurance issues

Handling Contract Breaches

Lawsuits arising out of equine sale, service or purchase agreements can be resolved through mediation, arbitration or litigation. The attorney you choose to represent you should have both the experience and the trial ability needed to successfully negotiate the best possible outcome. Legal remedies that are available to you range from money damages and specific performance to cease-and-desist orders (injunction) and rescission of the agreement.

Consortium Registration For Veterinarians

Legislative reforms allow veterinarians to register consortiums for the purposes of purchasing medical supplies at greater quantities and lower rates. For more information about either registering a veterinary consortium or joining a consortium, consult with a lawyer at our firm.
